If all three side lengths are INTEGERS and form PYTHAGOREAN TRIPLE then we know decimals are not allowed
if 24 and 51 are both legs then
x = 3177
and squre root of that gives us 56.364.... NOT an integer
So that means one of them is not a leg and since hypotenuse is longer than both legs, 51 must be the hypotenuse so to get the third side
![51^{2} - 24^{2} = x^{2}[tex] [tex] x^{2}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%2051%5E%7B2%7D%20-%20%2024%5E%7B2%7D%20%20%3D%20%20x%5E%7B2%7D%5Btex%5D%20%5Btex%5D%20x%5E%7B2%7D%20)
